All costs associated with the installation of the all way stop control are included within the 1999 operating budget.

Recommendations:

That Schedules XVIII and XIX of By-law No. 31001, of the former City of North York, be amended to require traffic to stop on all approaches to the intersection Honiton Street and Kennard Avenue.

Background:

As a result of requests from local residents, staff of the Transportation Services Division of the Works and Emergency Services Department investigated the feasibility of installing an all way stop control at the intersection of Honiton Street and Kennard Avenue.

Currently, northbound and southbound motorists on Honiton Street are required to stop at Kennard Avenue.

The results on an all way stop study confirmed that the technical requirements for the installation of an all way stop control have been satisfied at the intersection of Honiton Street at Kennard Avenue.
